Darbar Sahib Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh

Gurdwara Guru Ka Bagh - about three kilometers east of Takht Harminder Sahib is where Guru Tegh Bahadur first alighted in a garden (bagh) belonging to Nawabs Rahim Bakhsh and Karim Bakhsh, nobles of Patna, and where the sangat of Patna along with the young Sahibzada came out to receive him back from his four year long odyssey. A shrine commemorative of the first meeting of Holy Father and son was established here soon after. Its present building was constructed during the 1970s and 1980s. An old well, still in use, and a dried stump of the imli tree (tamarind tree), under which the sangat met Guru Tegh Bahadur, still exist. Here, after this visit of the 9th sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, the dry Bagh became lush and Green with plantlife.
